Services

BSM Development carries out design and development of software systems in many areas. With thirty years of experience in the software engineering business, especially in the areas of operating systems, file systems and databases, program editor design, program archiving and versioning, client/server and Web-based systems, user interfaces, data storage and retrieval and document searching and retrieval, no project is beyond our scope.

Other specialties are control systems (including A/D and D/A), large and small networks and particularly security. If you need to interface a computer to it or control it with a computer, we can handle it. If you need to network it, we've got you connected. And, if you're worried about security, we're even more paranoid than you are.

Reference

One of our company philosopies is to write everything down, as we go along. When we figure something out, we make copious notes. The reasons are twofold: 1) when we return to something many months or even years later, we'll have everything we need to pick up where we left off; 2) if we have to do something again, we'll be all that much faster at it. An ancillary reason is that many things are such trouble to figure out, we wouldn't want anybody to have to do it even once.

A nice side benefit of this propensity to document is that we make our notes, etc. available to you to assist you in your software development efforts. Check the Reference section of this Web site for a list of available reference material and how to get a copy of the items listed.

Resources

Part of knowing how to do things is knowing where to look for the right information. In the old days, this meant hundreds of hours spent pouring through reference materials in the library. Now, the Internet and the Web are such wonderful tools for doing research that we marvel at them constantly. The ease with which information is retrieved instantaneously from anywhere around the world cannot be beat. However, knowing where to look for things is even more important, especially since many search engines now have several billion Web pages indexed.

One of the ways that we can all help each other is to publish a directory to the Web sites that we find particularly useful. This has a twofold benefit. Anyone visiting our site can instantly see our reference material. Additionally, the sites that are really good will get pushed to the top of the search engine rankings, where they will quickly be found by others, because most of them use some form of link popularity. Our attempt at such a directory can be found in the Resources section of this site.
